A bright, colorful pasta dish that can be a side dish or main entrée. Cheese tortellini served with a spinach, onion, garlic and tomato cream sauce. Quick and easy to make, great for a weeknight meal.
Cook tortellini according to package directions. Meanwhile; in a large skillet, sauté onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, spinach, basil, salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
I use tri-color tortellini; I like the colors and flavor they add to this dish. I use the milk I have on hand (which is normally skim milk), the sauce will be a little runnier but tastes just as good.
